BTS's Jimin releases surprise track "Promise"

Jimin shared the new song “Promise” (literal title) at midnight KST on December 31. The BTS member showed off his talents as a singer-songwriter as the song was composed by Jimin and Slow Rabbit, with lyrics written by Jimin and fellow BTS member RM. Slow Rabbit also arranged the song.

The song features a sweet guitar instrumental and Jimin’s melodious voice sings of a determined promise to make someone happy in the future.

Jimin also opened up about the song on BTS’s Twitter account as he wrote, “Everyone, you’ve been waiting a long time for this, right? I’m finally releasing my self-composed track. It’s a song for me, but it’s also a song for you all. Though I may be a bit lack because it’s my first, please listen to it. Thank you to all ARMYs who waited.”

50 bucks Jimin wrote this with Taehyung in mind like how Taehyung was when he wrote 4 o'clock with Jimin in mind. lol jk.

Anyway, I love this. It sounds so sweet. I don't usually like acoustic but Jimin's voice was really a nice complement to the instrumentals. tbh songs where Jin and Jimin aren't made to strain their voices sound really great in general.

yeah, exactly they just need to stop forcing their voices. Unfortunately while Jimin has kind of gotten that and is doing something very fitting for his voice here, Jin has basically doubled down on his faux-classical style, at least going by Epiphany. I hope he starts exploring something more relaxed and in his range as well, it's really hard for him to enjoy his voice as long as he's so tense.

I noticed with Jimin that he can go back to his range (?) when he can. Like you just know he's relaxed when he's doing it ig? I can hear it from this song and from the superior version of Serendipity he did before in Mnet. The lower-ranged verses in Epiphany were my favourite parts in the song ngl but I could definitely hear him tense throughout. tbh I want to hear him sing in that lower range and see if he's much more relaxed doing that instead of the higher notes they always give him.

idgi either. Like they've already complained on video but it's like the producers never take it seriously. More than half of the boys have a lower vocal range (I'm including rap line too because they occasionally sing anyway) yet the keys since Fake Love (I could be wrong on this one being the beginning tho) were higher than what they could do without straining.

Yeah, that is the issue I have with enjoying Fake Love, knowing that most of their vocal cords were probably screaming for help everytime they performed it live. Makes me question whether to like the song as much. In any case, I’m glad Jimin is sounding more relaxed here, I worry for his voice the most out of all of them tbh.

yeah it really seems that way. it's really annoying honestly but goes to show they do not have the final say on everything unfortunately. i'm also wondering if they are taking any vocal lessons because it seems to me that jin has improved a lot over the years but i've also heard jimin say they have no time for actual vocal lessons so they're kinda self-taught

hmm for suga i could see it more as him not being too familiar with producing songs for vocals but more knowledgeable in beats for rap songs. although there's also seesaw that's more vocal based. i'm not that knowledgeable about music, so i can't really figure out why

These past few days have been torture for me and it’s all VMin’s fault. First the club dancing + pickup line, then all that stuff he did on Taehyung’s birthday, and now these cover photos...just leave me here in my coffin bye ⚰️.
